Which landscape outcome occurs when intense wind deflation acts on unconsolidated sediments?

💡 Explanation

The deflation process gradually removes fine material, consolidating the residual coarser particles into desert pavement, because selective erosion removes finer grains; therefore the correct answer is pavement rather than weathering, streams, or ice accumulation.
